TCT 2026
San Diego, CA | October 31 – November 3
Join us at TCT to dive into a new wave of Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) innovation — including the latest evolution of Coronary IVL.
Taking Coronary IVL Further, Faster
We’re excited to see you in San Diego as we unveil our new Coronary IVL catheter and explore the engineering behind our relentless evolution of IVL.
- Meet our next-generation Coronary IVL catheter at an expert-led symposium
- Deepen your understanding of complex coronary calcium and refine treatment skills with hands‑on sessions at our training pavilion
- Discover the story behind our innovative devices at an expert engineer panel led by Dr. Nick West, Shockwave Medical CMO, and Dr. Carlos Collet, Cardiovascular Research Foundation
Symposium
Our Latest Coronary IVL Upgrade Flies Through Complex Calcium: The New Shockwave C2 Aero Fly Takes Off with Clinically Proven Safety & Unmatched Efficiency
Monday, November 2, 2026 | 12:45 pm – 1:45 pm PT | Coronary Live Case Theater | Ground Level, Halls A-B
Join us as we spark discussion and share findings that will energize your daily practice.
Learning objectives:
- Meet the new Shockwave C2 Aero Fly and explore how its 2x-faster pulsing delivers elevated efficiency
- Learn how to accurately recognize calcified coronary lesion features on angiography when imaging catheters can’t cross
- Discover new evidence that continues to bolster Shockwave IVL’s proven crack record of safe, consistent, and effective calcium modification
